It's a rematch that came sooner than expected: Atlanta vs. Mother Nature.Just two weeks after a few inches of snow paralyzed the city and snarled traffic for what seemed like endless hours, another storm -- this one promising to coat the area with ice -- is upon the area. Atlanta is the focus because of the chaos that ensued in the last storm, but the whole story about the weather includes a much larger swath of the South.

From CNN's latest reporting:
If you're an Atlantan making a last-minute grocery run, here's hoping you love corn and asparagus. Because that's all that may be left on most shelves as residents stock up and hunker down for the ice storm.
The good news? Everyone learned their lesson last time. The bad news? Everyone learned their lesson last time and crowded supermarkets to gather supplies as the storm approached. -

Warmer in Sochi than Atlanta. More snow in ATL too. Maybe we can bid for a future Winter Olympic. First city to host both!Feb. 11, 2014- Reply

Well, this is unpleasant. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution says a winter storm that's about to wallop part of Georgia could be worse than a storm in 2000 that left people without power for several days. Yikes.
Weather Service: Winter storm “could be even worse” than 2000...
Much of Georgia will be slammed with sleet, ice, snow and high winds in the hours before daybreak Wednesday, and there could be power outages that will rival the days thousands went without electricity in 2000, according to a National Weather Service briefing given to agencies based at the Georgia Emergency Management Agency’s command center just before noon Tuesday. -
